για FAT32 υπάρχει τίποτα για λίνουξ???

 

Τι εννοείς; Το FAT, FAT32 "δεν είναι του Linux". Ο kernel (από τον 2.0.34 και μετά νομίζω) πάντως έχει read/write υποστήριξη για FAT, FAT32.

Linux creator Linus Torvalds has labeled makers of the OpenBSD operating system a "bunch of masturbating monkeys," as part of a wider critique of what he said was self-centered behavior in the IT security industry.

 

In an e-mail to the Linux kernel developer mailing list, Torvalds said a section of the security industry was dedicated to finding bugs in software only to publicize their findings and gain notoriety.

 

The row erupted in the Gmane mailing list after a developer for the PaX Team, which patches the Linux kernel, accused Torvalds and other top Linux kernel developers of "covering up (the) security impact of bugs" by not clearly labeling them as security flaws.

 

Torvalds wrote that disclosing the bug itself was enough, without having to label each individual security flaw. He added that taking the bugs to the "security circus" level only glorified the wrong kind of behavior. "It makes heroes out of security people, as if the people who...fix normal bugs aren't as important," wrote Torvalds. What was left behind for the developers were all the "boring" bugs, which Torvalds considered more important due to their volume.

Btw, and you may not like this, since you are so focused on security, one

reason I refuse to bother with the whole security circus is that I think

it glorifies - and thus encourages - the wrong behavior.

 

It makes "heroes" out of security people, as if the people who don't just

fix normal bugs aren't as important.

 

In fact, all the boring normal bugs are _way_ more important, just because

there's a lot more of them. I don't think some spectacular security hole

should be glorified or cared about as being any more "special" than a

random spectacular crash due to bad locking.

 

Security people are often the black-and-white kind of people that I can't

stand. I think the OpenBSD crowd is a bunch of masturbating monkeys, in

that they make such a big deal about concentrating on security to the

point where they pretty much admit that nothing else matters to them.

 

To me, security is important. But it's no less important than everything

*else* that is also important!

The Wi-Fire is a gadget for business and recreational travelers who require access to a wireless network. Connected to and powered by a computer via a USB cable, the Wi-Fire features a powerful directional wireless antenna, sensitive receiver, and proprietary software to access Wi-Fi signals up to 1,000 feet away. With typical internal wireless adapters having a limited range the Wi-Fire will certainly prevent those dropped signal scenarios that people are often plagued by with wireless connections.

 

Wireless Specifications:

- IEEE 802.11 b/g protocols

- Frequency Range: 2.421 Ghz - 2.4835 Ghz

- Channels: US - 11 channels; Rest of World - 13 channels

- Transmit Power: +16.5dBm

- Antenna Gain: +10.4 dBi

- Minimum Receive Power: -98 dBm

System Requirements

- Windows XP or Vista

- Mac OS X 10.3 and up (Including 10.5 Leopard)

- Linux for Kernels 2.6.24 and forward

- Available USB 2.0 or 1.1 port (1.1 will limit speeds to 11 Mbps)

Security

- 64/128/256 bit WEP

- 128 bit WPA, WPA2 (AES-256 bit)

Data Rate

- 802.11g: 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 Mbps

- 802.11b: 1, 2, 5.5, 11 Mbps

Power Requirements

- 5V DC (from USB port)

The only downside to the Wi-Fire is its not the most beautifully designed wireless networking gadget, nevertheless if it allows you to pick up a signal when others around you canʼt then I could live with it, couldnʼt you?

Manufactured by hField Technologies, the Wi-Fire is priced at $80.

Today at the OSCON open source software convention, the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) got an unexpected new sponsor: Microsoft. The Redmond software giant, which will contribute $100,000 annually to the ASF, joins Google and Yahoo as a platinum sponsor of Apache development.
